\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Every year, at the end of summer, I take my kiddos out to eat and we have a heart to heart. I ask them if they still want to homeschool or go back to public school. Then I always ask them what they are really interested in learning the next school year. I was really surprised one year when they said they wanted to focus a lot on science and chemistry.<\/p>\n

There was a nearby science center in Birmingham, Alabama. I decided to get a membership for the year at the McWane\u00a0 Science Center, and that is when I learned about the\u00a0ASTC Travel Passport Program.<\/p>\n

Not only can you visit your local science center (in our case, the McWane Center), but you can also visit science centers & museums that are located over 90 miles of the science center or museum where you are a member or 90 miles beyond your residence.<\/p>\n

We still have a few more months left on our yearly membership, and plan to renew for another year when the time comes. We want to make a few day trips to some science museums in Tennessee and Georgia.<\/p>\n

When we make plans to go out of town for a trip we always look up and see what science centers will be nearby so that we can visit. I make sure I bring my membership card and I.D. with me when we travel.<\/p>\n
